    Welcome to SF.

    A wild guess. Is the key stuck?

    As YoYo has mentioned, maybe the key is stuck down, try tapping it a few times to release it (do the same to the keys around the x too).

    If that doesn't help, try turning your laptop off, remove the charger and battery for a minute and then plug them back in and test again.

    The other thing i would suggest if the above doesn't work is start in Safe Mode, does it do it then?
